Small Companies in Mining.


1t is noticeable that small compan-
les have in the prosecution of mining
been more successful than large ones.
So generally has this been the case as
to become a well-recognized rule
Nor is this rule confined to mining
alone. 1t is one of wide application.
An organization or partnership
made up of a few men, provided there
are enough of them and they have
sufficient means for the proper con-
duct of their business, whatever it
may be, is apt to do better than com
panies consisting Of large numbers;
nor is it strange that this should be
so. A few men in associatlng them
selves together for business purposes
are largely governed III their choice
of each other by considerations of in
dividual fitness, character, and tenn
permanent, various ether peculiarities
being also taken into account. A
partnership or company SO constituted
in its integral parts apt to be in ac-
cord in all that relates to its common
interests. The members are apt to
work IN harmony; the institution is
also efficient, each member preform-
ing the duty or service for which his
experience, training and natural APP
titudes especially fit him.
In the history of California mining
the above doctrine fi..ds exemplfica-
ton in numerous instances. In the
case of the Idaho Company at Grass
Valley it is well illustrated, the tive
Coleman brothers and three or -four
other persons being the almost
exclusive owners of the property, the
Colemans its sole managers. Taking
it's record as a whole, this may be
considered the most prosperous min,
in California. In the Providence
mine at the same place we have ;
similar instance of small ownership
coupled with large net earnings ane
superior management.

HE Moscow Mirror says a petition
IS OH foot asking Congress to create
a new Territory with Northern Idaho
joined 70 that portion of Washington
Territory having Snake river for the
southery boundary line and the Col
umbla and Okinakane rivers on the
west. With portion Of Northern
ldAaoans agitating annexation to
Montana, another portion pulling to
60 to Washington Territory, another
faction favoring the formation of a
new Territory, and good many
standing opposed to al these schem S
and in favor Of that s .ction remaining
portion of Idaho, it looks as if the
once solid annexation sentiment has
oeen smashed to pieces and beyond
the possibility of ever being glued
together again. The North has
ceased to be solid on any question in
regard to the formation Of new bonn-
daries. Annexation is smashed, and
we rejoice muchly. The hope of
Nevada to secure Central and South
ern Idaho is based on the possibility
of success Of the scheme to cut off
the Northern counties. The people
OF Idaho who have been whooping to
BE- joined to Nevada argued thus: '.If
the Northern counties are annexed to
Washington, which seems inevitable.
Idaho can never hope for statehood
except by going to some other state
or Territory. Nevada wants US, and
we want to go.' With the great
division of sentiment in the North
on the question of where they shall
70 when severed from Idaho, and
the newly developed plan, which
will fail, Of forming a new Territory,
and the conseqent smashing of the
annexation scheme by clashing OF
opposite desires, will put an end to
the whoop and hurrah in Southern
| laho for annexation to Nevada. 1t
COW looks as if Idaho will remain as
she is, and that no section will be
whacked off to be obsoi bed by any
neighboring State or Territory. 1t is
well.

Heresy has scored triumph in the
boosted boon of religious liberty,
which brings US to the remark that
religious federation is not the gift, at
least not directly, of organized
Christianity. 1t is primarily due to
the multiplication of church creeds,
and the resultant contentious upon
questions Of orthodoxy, and more inn
mediately to the necessities Of organ
lied society and material advance
ment. If the Christians of America
and of the civilized world were unit
ed upon one creed, AMI thus organic
ed as unit of purpose and of power
it is by no means an assured fact tha
the reign of religious liberty would b'
permitted to continue.

maintain that Northern Idaho will

that it does not appear so very

lowed moderate slice to nourish her

Montana would gladly Gasp hands
with Eastern Oregon across the di-
vide and the Cascade range would at
last be put to the use for which the
hand Omnipotent originally intended
it-that of boundary line between
Eastern Oregon and the Webeoot
section. The Democrat thinks the
Inland Empire would then flourish
like green bay tree. This plan
would be better than to annex all
the remainder of Idaho to Nevada if
the northern counties gal their point
in joining their fortunes with Wash
ington. If it is Idaho's fate to be
whacked up and parcled out it would
be better for Central Idaho to form 4
union with Eastern Oregon thar
with Nevada. These two sections
would make prosperous state will

From the proceedings of the county

institution. The members in their ca
pacity have divorced themselves from
the public whose servants they are, and
propose to run things to suit themselves,
and from no official source are the tax
payers to know how their money is
being expended until the end of the fiscal
year, by which lime the entire board
might get To Canada if so disposed

The Streator independent Times says:
The Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe
seems to be one of the most ambitious
railroad corporations in the world. 1t
is not only coming into the territory of
its eastern competitors, but surveyors are
at work locating an extension from the
line now being constructed to St Paul
1t seems highly probable that the COM
pany intends building the line from
PekiU to Rock Island for which they
have already secured the charter, and
from the latter city to st. Paul. The
line will cross the Chicago & Kansas
City division in the vicinity of Mon
mouth. The appearance of the survey
ing corps, that left this city few DAYS
ago, has aroused the citizens OF Rock
Island, Moline and Davenport and the
newspapers of the respective towns are
now endeaY oring to secure the route bv
dilatIng on their different advantages
over their neighbors. The plans of the
company are not fully matured in regard
to the locating Of this ST. Paul extension,
and they CAP give the cities above men
TONED no definite answer Ms to what will
be done. Railroad corporations are not
famous for divulging their plans to the
public, and the Atchison is more than
ordinarily quiet about its plans.
